Cookie Policy
Version 1.1Last updated: 2026-05-31
This Cookie Policy explains how HeliconTrade Ltd. ("HeliconTrade", "we", "us") uses cookies and similar browser-storage technologies on helicontrade.com and within our product. It also describes the choices available to you and how to exercise them at any time. Please read this policy together with our Privacy Policy.
Manage your preferences
Open the consent panel to review or change which categories you allow. Your choices are stored locally on this device and apply only to this browser.
Scope and definitions
A cookie is a small text file placed on your device by your browser when you visit a website. Cookies allow a site to recognise a returning device, remember preferences, and operate certain features. HeliconTrade also relies on related browser-storage technologies — primarily localStorage and sessionStorage — for the same purposes. For brevity, this policy uses the term "cookies" to refer to all such technologies.
Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are required for the website and product to function. They store your language and theme preferences, maintain your authenticated session, protect against cross-site request forgery, and record your response to the consent banner so it is not shown to you again. Because the service cannot operate without them, they are always active and are not subject to your consent under the relevant rules.
Analytics cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors discover and use HeliconTrade in aggregate so that we can prioritise improvements to the product. The data collected is pseudonymous, is not sold, and is not used to build advertising profiles. Analytics cookies are disabled by default and are only set after you provide consent through the preference panel.
Marketing cookies
Marketing cookies allow us to measure the effectiveness of the channels through which new users discover HeliconTrade — for example, attributing a sign-up to a referral source or campaign. We do not use marketing cookies to build behavioural profiles or to deliver personalised advertising. These cookies are disabled by default.
Functional cookies
Functional cookies power optional convenience features that improve your experience — for example, remembering a draft message, a pinned watchlist layout, or interface settings that persist across sessions independently of your account. These cookies are disabled by default and can be enabled in the consent panel.
Device fingerprinting and similar technologies
In addition to cookies and local storage, we use device fingerprinting — a pseudonymous identifier derived from stable characteristics of your browser and device, combined with the IP address our servers observe. A lean version of this signal runs at all times to prevent fraud and abuse and to secure the service; like strictly necessary cookies, it is not consent-gated, because it rests on our legitimate interest in preventing fraud rather than on tracking you for advertising. A richer version is used for analytics only with your consent, and we honour Global Privacy Control and Do-Not-Track signals for that use. We never enumerate your browser extensions or probe your local network. Our Privacy Policy describes this processing, its legal basis, the twelve-month retention period, and your rights in more detail.
Legal basis and your rights
Strictly necessary cookies are set on the basis of our legitimate interest in delivering the service you have requested. All other categories are set only with your prior, informed consent, in accordance with the EU/EEA ePrivacy Directive, the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations, and equivalent laws where applicable. You may withdraw or update your consent at any time from the panel above or via the "Cookie settings" link in the footer of every page. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before the withdrawal.
Third parties
Where we rely on a third-party provider to deliver an analytics or marketing function, that provider may act as a separate or joint data controller and apply its own policies. The current list of providers, the data they receive, and the jurisdictions in which they operate is maintained in our Privacy Policy. We do not knowingly use third-party cookies that perform cross-site behavioural advertising.
Updates and contact
We may revise this policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use, regulatory requirements, or product features. Material changes will be notified in-product where appropriate, and the version date at the top of this page will be updated. For questions about this policy or to exercise your rights, contact [email protected] — we respond within five business days.
